PINK & theft/misuse of artistic property of Martin F. Edmond

This is hardly theft of intellectual property because the video only depicts concepts from said comic book author. It would be another issue if the video used the exact same images, but this is just some kind of "re-enactment" inspired by certain characters and poses.

Or should everybody who dresses up as Sephiroth on a public event be forced to pay monetary credit to Square or the Final Fantasy character designer?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There are tons of conventions where you can win a lot of money and/or prizes for your cosplay and nobody even cares about that. Why should we care about Pink dressing up like some character from a comic? That said, I'm sure there are tons of music video clips out there with somebody dressed up as Superman.

My point is that the whole matter is blown entirely out of proportion, especially since the comic book author is already dead. At least us few have learned about his works now. Isn't that all he would ever ask for if he was still alive? Seeing how his intelectual property is now owned by some emo fashion company, I hardly see any problem at all. Besides, who originally got this thing rolling? The raving Martin F. Edmond fanboys or the clothing company keen on making some extra bucks?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
